Re: Monica Lewinsky Breaks her Silence

She was sleeping with another married man, a former teacher of hers, prior to ever working in the White House. Plus, she didn't act like a victim or like she was "persuaded or misled" into an affair with him. And she made millions off of that affair, between book deals, and interviews, and endorsements, plus her self-named line of handbags.

And I honestly don't think Hillary really cared. It doesn't seem like they have a relationship type where she wouldn't know the guy was a dog and sleeping with other women. Heck, if she cared about this scandal at all, it was quite likely the fact that it became a scandal and that other people found out about it. If anything was said in the privacy of the Clinton WhiteHouse about this by Hillary, it was probably something like the following, "How could you be so stupid? At least pick some semi-intelligent bimbos who know how to keep their mouths shut."

Well thank you for clearing up the age. However, she was still an intern. And the practice in DC, is for young interns to be shephard by those they are assigned to work under. D.C. is a cesspool and understandable why such a protocol. That's the facts Jack. When her shepherd happens to be the President of the U.S. you would think his actions toward her would have been more constructive versus having fellatio performed on him by an intern.

She was a willing participant.

And she makes that very clear in her article that their relationship was consensual. But for the love of Pete Kobie, a young intern first time in D.C. hadn't been there but 6 months and the Prez is putting the moves on her? A young woman infatuated by the most powerful man in the world making passes at her? What a friggin ass. Sure it was poor judgment on her part. Young and dumb and she consequently paid a huge price for it as it ended up haunting her the rest of her life while Billy boy got a pass. WTF?

Haunting her? She made millions off that affair. I highly doubt it was truly "haunting her". Does she say the same thing about her affair with her former teacher that she was having prior to even becoming an intern in the White House? I just have a big issue with her getting put out as some sort of victim here. She wasn't a victim. I'm willing to bet she was fully aware of what was going on, even if he was coming onto her, and possibly even encouraged it herself.

Yes, he was a frickin' moron for having any sexual relations with anyone working in the White House or really government in general (I have no idea whether or not Hillary really cares or not if he sleeps around with other people, so I don't know if he was a moron or not for having an affair period). But that doesn't make him some sexual predator. And we have no idea if he was using his "power" to get her to do stuff for him, or if she was doing stuff for him for her own gains (whatever she may have thought she could get, heck she could just be infatuated with guys in charge of her).

He got a pass? Let's see, he was impeached due to his actions in the fallout of the whole scenario, and it's obviously still on people's minds. How would you prefer he had been punished, lest he "get a pass"?
